Have you ever been to a spa or the lobby of a luxury hotel and seen their oh-so-appealing fruit- and vegetable-infused waters? Somehow, that little hint of citrus or berries makes plain old water look and taste so much better.

Since we all know we should be drinking more water, I like to make that option as appealing as possible during the sultry days of summer. Here’s a simple, refreshing recipe that I love.
Cucumber-Citrus Spa Water
For each half gallon of cold water:
1 large cucumber, sliced
1 large lemon, sliced
2 limes, sliced
1 large orange, sliced
1. Thinly slice fruits and vegetables.

2. Place all fruits and vegetables in your pitcher or beverage dispenser and add cold water.

3. Store in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to blend before serving.

4. Serve water in glasses filled with ice, and add a slice of citrus on the side.

You’ll find a variety of wonderful pitchers and containers (some with built-in infusers) at HomeGoods along with glasses of every shape and size, and always at an amazing price.
